Bishop Daniel Martins writes for The Living Church’s Covenant blog on the unsung spirituality of Ordinary Time, which often underappreciated in comparison to the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent and Easter.
He writes:
Ordinary Time is brimming with its own peculiar virtues, its own winsome charisms. These are, to be sure, usually more subtle and understated than the signs by which the more frenetic seasons call attention to themselves, but, like a fine aged wine, they are a delight to the senses of those who comes to appreciate them. … Ordinary Time deserves to be “seen,” to be honored for what it represents: the tranquil and peaceful rest for which all of us yearn and which is our common destiny in Christ.
